I think it's important to put Ukrainian nationalism in the perspective of Russian predatory behaviour - it's a natural reaction to threat to want to build a strong state to defend itself. Just look at Russia's history with it's neighbours and you will see where the problem lies. Georgia, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Chechnya, etc.

Just like his Uncle Joe, the paranoia must be immense being in his position. But it nearly happened - look at the Wagner revolt, they just couldn't get the support they were hoping for. Of course then he makes an example of the perpetrators.
Just watched the gorgeous Mashka and they have not mentioned him in their investigation with corruption in rosskosmos. They had to give the fall guy (kazyol atpuschenye) and he was democraticly elected to take the blame imho.
It seems that your boss is proping up rusky government indirectly. Sad. Very sad.
Unfortunately, I believe it's very optimistic to think that. From what I have collated, and I've been following the war fairly closely, the Russian strategic nuclear defence is very highly funded and held to a high standard, as it is basically their fall-back that allows them to push their weight around without repercussions.
I also think that Ukraine's early success may not be something that persists - the early days of the war did have severe blunders by the RUAF - for example the Rosgvardia were deployed because they expected the Ukrainians to roll over, they aren't a proper military unit they are more of a police force, hence they got slaughtered.
Now it seems to be a war of attrition. As Stalin said, quantity is a quality of it's own, and if Ukraine can't come up with some dramatic progress soon it may come down to numbers.
Maybe Russia shouldn't have started a war of aggression against it's neighbour then. Newsflash, war isn't nice, people start doing sick things. Personally I can't fault the Ukrainians for using any advantage they can get, however morally corrupt it may seem.

You're new here, but you're replying to a pro-Russian bot, I wouldn't waste your energy on it.

Thanks for the warning. I hope the can of turnips he gets paid gives him botulism.
On that note, I think it's important not to dehumanise the Russian people as a whole - there are a whole generation of Russians who embrace our values, remember in the 2000s our relationship with Russia was quite cosy. I feel that this new generation is being oppressed within Russia because it threatens the power of their elite - but it's not feasible for them to do much about it because they are under a totalitarian regime.

Feel free to make up your own mind on this of course, but there are a few here that fit into that bucket, they'll make themselves known pretty quick, they work in shifts
Haha, I'm new here but not to forums in general. I've been accused of being a Russian troll myself before because I was pessimistic about the long term outcome of the war. It is still important to understand that propaganda works both ways. Unfortunately I know more than I want to about how the war is going, and although it's not an RU victory, there are some things that are concerning.Feel free to make up your own mind on this of course, but there are a few here that fit into that bucket, they'll make themselves known pretty quick, they work in shifts

Most people here are realistic, long term victory for Ukraine is going to need continued support, if US pulls support that suddenly becomes a bigger gap, not sure if EU as a whole will be able to fill it.
The objective of countries like Russia is to de-stabilise and take advantage of situations like the one in Ukraine, because the long-term benefits for them out-weigh the short-term costs.
Putin doesn't care if a lot of the international community doesn't support his actions, or even if they actively work against him, he has a lot of resources and manpower he can throw at the problem. If Russia take more territory from Ukraine, I can't see it carrying on down a good path, they really need to be stopped here, or the next time they attack someone it's just going to be easier for them.

U wot mate?
Pretty much all said. Cheers.
Trust me bruv.
90% of the drone footage seems to drones destroying tanks and APC’s. I’ve seen some of trench attacks. One that sticks out is a drone chasing a Russian soldier around a trailer.

Newsflash for yourself, morality is morality. If you excuse it as advantage then you're basically implying it's not important.
Different from me where i saw it is...
Blah blah blah. You people are boring as sin. Same record. What is pro Russian about what I've said? I've routinely condemned repeatedly, backed it up with my decisions at work and I've been quite pragmatic about my viewpoint.
I'm reasonably confident time will prove my viewpoint correct.

Bet I can pick more than a handful of quotes in this thread of people gloating around very intimate scenes of death without needing apc/tank etc
When you have politicians like this. Who needs enemies...
Angela Merkel says she lost influence over Putin as a lame duck leader
Germany’s former chancellor defends her actions amid barrage of accusations since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Merkel will be proven as an agent of the DDR in my lifetime. This is my little conspiracy theory.
She laughed at people warning of over reliance on Russian energy.
Excuse me? If there was an award for taking a quote out of context.... If you're genuinely that paranoid, I live in Suffolk, UK and could give you a good tour of the area. Obviously not gonna be more specific for PERSEC reasons.
